This new engineering major is designed to meet the demand for roles in energy efficiency, renewable energy technologies, fossil-fuel reduction, hydrogen systems, geo-energy options and environmental compliance.

The course is the first of its kind to offer the breadth and depth of knowledge needed to conceive, design, build and operate engineering processes relevant to a clean energy future.

Emphasising environmental and social responsibility – and aligning with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and Australia’s 2050 net-zero carbon emissions target – the course also highlights sustainability principles and Indigenous perspectives in addressing globally significant energy engineering problems.

In your first year of study, you will complete Curtin’s unique engineering foundation year to gain the fundamental science, mathematics, data analytics, information science and computing knowledges that underpin the broader field of engineering.

You’ll then choose four specialisation units to complete, in an area such as power systems engineering, low carbon transition, subsurface energy engineering and energy conversion technologies.
